Process Vs Product

Process should be more appreciated in education rather than product. Why? Because process is the time where students are truly learning about education it self. Another reason is, process teaches students how important to work hard for improve their knowledge than just work instantly on the target of product. Besides, when process is being appreciated, students will be motivated to gives their best effort in learning. That’s why, good process makes good product, too.

BACKGROUND OF THE RESEARCH

          English is a language that is used by almost everyone in the world because English is an international language. In Indonesia English is not as a second language but English is a foreign language. English is also called as the target language that has to be teaching in schools in Indonesian curriculum. Therefore the student is hoped to increase their ability in English. Now days, not only as a foreign language but also taught from secondary up to university level. One of the purposes in teaching English itself is to develop communicative ability in its language that consist of writing, reading, speaking, and listening. In other words, learning English means learning the way to communicative by that language as a target language, either in writing or expressions.

Since English is used as a foreign language in Indonesia, many efforts are needed in teaching and learning process, it is not only from the teacher but also from the student side. There are four main skills, there are writing, reading, speaking, and listening. Each of them is important and has different ways or has the relation each other. There are many kinds of subject in teaching and learning English, one of the skills is writing. Writing is one of the four in language skills, which is taught in the school. In writing the student can express their feelings, idea, thoughts and their opinions. “Writing is about more than making our thoughts and ideas visible and concrete. However, writing in English is not easy and the students often find some difficulties while they are writing (Ghaith, 2002). “Writing is different from learning other skills because writing is thinking process and need much time. Writing can help us to deepen understanding. It can help to make the sense of the information.

Narrative is telling story of some true or factious event or connected sequence of events. That‘s Recounted by a narrator a narrate (although there are may be more than one of each). Narratives are distinguished from descriptions of qualities, states, or situations, and also from dramatic enactment of events. A narrative will consist of a set event recounted in a process of narrative, in which the events are selected and arranged in a particular order. The narrative must be heavy on the historical and light on the fictional; otherwise, the purpose of the assignment would be compromised.

Simple past tense is used in narrative writing, because the narration is writing about a succession of event in the past. The Narrative is usually found in novels, short stories, fairy tales, and fables. For example simple past tense is “Where do you go yesterday? It should be “Where did you go yesterday? “or the use of pronoun, for example” we family went the Beach” instead of “our family went to the Beach”. In fact, event collage students still feel difficulties in writing English grammatically. Their mistakes because they do not understand the grammar well, and how to organize the ideas. In condition above, teacher’s strategy becomes important in the English teaching learning process, especially in choosing the appropriate technique in teaching writing. To meet this need,teacher need variation techniques that can help the students develop and organize their ideas in good writing.

Based on the discussion, this study will apply narrative text learning process of writing. It is assumed that by using small narrative text the students’writing ability canbe improved. When the subject was in the tenth grade in the 2014/2015 academic year.
